5 Yoga Exercises to Get Fit

If you thought that yoga was all about bending and twisting your body in odd shapes, it’s time to rethink. It is much more. It means the union of body, soul & mind. This century-old practice is achieved through postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayamas) and meditation. It helps balance the elements of the body.

Yoga is not a religion. It is a way of living whose aim is “a healthy mind in a healthy body”.

5. Uttanasana (Forward Bending Pose)

Allow your arms to come forward. If your hamstrings are tight or your lower back is sensitive, bend your knees.

Let your head bang and relax your head and neck completely and let go of all your stress out the top of your head.

Hold for 2- 3 breaths and gently come to standing position while inhaling.

So, yoga is not only about asanas but also about healthy diet, correct postures, emotional balance and proper sleep. Once you reach the gateway of this proper stability, then with yoga you are sure to attain a healthy body, mind and soul.
